The falling off of the gold foil should be caused by the failure of the surface paint of the gold foil, or by the bad glue of the gold foil when the gold foil is applied.If it is peeling and foaming, it means that the base layer is not done well, especially the gold foil on the wood products, because the stability of the wood products is not good, and the thermal expansion and contraction are easy to cause this phenomenon.
Precautions for gold foil furniture: 1. Avoid cleaning gold foil furniture with a towel with water, and use a soft brush to clean the dust.2. Gold foil is directly exposed to the air, which can easily cause oxidation and discoloration, gold foil falling off, etc. The correct way to clean gold foil furniture is to clean the surface of gold foil furniture with a soft dry towel or a soft brush.
3. Gold-plated furniture is prevented from being cleaned with liquid cleaners with chemicals.4. Sweat can also easily oxidize and discolor the gold foil. Try not to touch the gold foil furniture with sweaty hands or other parts of the body where the gold foil is affixed, so as not to cause the gold foil to oxidize and affect the aesthetics.5. Gold-coated furniture should not be cleaned with items with high hardness and sharp edges and corners to prevent its transparent paint protective layer from being cut, causing the gold foil to fall off.
6. For gold foil, we can only talk about care. It is not like floors, ceramic tiles or other waxing for maintenance work. It can only minimize bumps or indirect man-made damage in daily life.7. Gold foil furniture cannot come into contact with water. Since the glue and varnish used in the traditional gold foil process may be easily soluble in water, water will cause the gold foil on the surface of the gold foil furniture to fall off, and the gold foil furniture cannot be cleaned with a towel with water.
